Review summary

This is the second time we have sailed from Puerto Rico. It's a great starting point with very nice people and good local cuisine.

We have been to St. Thomas and St. Kitt's previously and were excited to go back and see the parts of the islands we didn't get to see on our previous trip. The plus side was going to Aruba and Curacao, two beautiful islands. (on Aruba, you have to visit Eagle Beach)

The boat was clean and easy to get around on. Various venues for all. Food in the dining room is excellent (see if you can get a set dining time {we had 6:00 which worked out perfectly for us} as the anytime dining, you may have to wait, but it's not usually too long). Staff was always helpful and eager to please.

:( No more Buckets of Beer specials :( Drink packages are a good idea (it that's your thing...) You can save a little.

Looking forward to our next cruise, just have to wait for one with different ports to have "another" new experience, but you won't be disappointed.

We had interior this trip (a Balcony on the last) and I prefer the Balcony, more light in the early a.m. so you don't have to guess the time and a little more room to move around. That being said, the interior cabins are sufficient (maybe add virtual balconies like on Harmony of the Sea...)
